Well I've finally managed to find the effort to upload some photos of my S70 T5! Image Image Completely standard at the moment and I've done 90% of stage 0. Unsure of what to do next or where to get some bolt on mods!

Looks nice. I have an S70 T5 myself. As it's pre ME7, that makes things a little easier and cheeper. An 18T would be good, along with a decent map to match. Oh, the TME exhaust sounds nice too, subtle but with a nice burble ;) Is it a manual or auto? I only ask, as the auto box is the biggest limiting factor, although I have heard of them handling 300 horses without too much complaint ;)

It'll be ME7 at that age unfortunately.

[QUOTE=stribo;751184]It'll be ME7 at that age unfortunately.[/QUOTE] Ah, bad times :( Well, it all still applies, but just a little trickier (read - more expensive) to map

Oh olive green nice one, stunning in the summer sun all polished up ;) Blue grille badge, if original, is a no brainier that its ME7 then...

Why is it that every other S70 T5 I've seen has a rear spoiler, but ours doesn't? :(

Mines an S plate but pre me7. As said though this is me7. Looks really straight! I'd be looking at v70 Graham's thread for mod ideas. His me7 gives good power & has some quality mods.

Or maybe transplant bits of both into the 480..! (hard to make good photos if you are working all daylight hours, fella)

And the rest Matey, prob on 18hr days at the moment! :( Well, with some creative parking, we could probably squeeze another onto my drive! Ha ha ha :D Although, a T5 AWD 480 would be epic!
